Conversation and our Quest for Insight

The basic reasons we launched I-Labs are all here: "The most powerful way of learning is ...  to have conversation... the best examples of great insight nearly always come from cases where people shared knowledge or experience.... every organisation is sitting on a wealth of information that potentially contains insight... This information is lying dormant in documents of all kinds, in shared discussions at social gatherings and in peoples heads. Insight is hiding in the multitude of shared links to the latest great articles, in the tweets that we ‘Like’ and the videos we love to share.... so much of it in so many places that we can often struggle to leverage it when we actually need it. How many times do we have that vague memory that we read something or heard something that was really important — but are unable to navigate back to that insight and do something with it? ... Now that we live such digital lives we need to think about conversation as being a much more diverse activity." There's a lot more, so go read it. - Conversation and our Quest for Insight — Medium
